Enough griping...legit theoretical football question

Oregon wore out Kansas State with hurry up. We traditionally wear out people with power. What if we started doing both next year: hurry up power football as opposed to hurry up spread. If defenses get gassed by tempo and worn done by power, it seems to me to stand to reason that the combination could be lethal. And...discuss

You can't wear down teams by going 3 and out...

I like. Different than now.

Because it doesn't take nearly as much energy from the defense to stuff 3 hb toss dives up the middle as it does to cover from sideline to sideline against a spread team.

Anything else is an upgrade

If you run a hurry up then the coach doesn't have as much time to gab between plays. Seriously, that dude is always talking.

Nothing demoralizes a team more than running right over them. To do it at a faster pace would be, I think , a good move . When our running game is rolling I'm always yelling for them to speed it up . Of course , you need a consistent passing attack to at least keep the defense honest .

I wish about 3 times a game we would run a hurry up, and either check to a toss sweep or a bubble screen...
That would be sweet!

LSU's power offense is built around 220-230 pound RB's who constantly rotate to stay fresh and linemen who range from 325-350 pounds. Running an Oregon type of hurry up would end up wearing ourselves out. We can't have the best of both worlds.

I think a mix would work well. Speed up the pace to get quick scores and build a little lead, then switch to a slower more power-oriented style to wear their defense down and keeping your own defense fresh.

I think u are correct.
LSU ran some of that and seemed to want to do more and more as the season wore on. Lack of OL depth and inexperience prolly slowed it down definetely delayed it. For a while there we couldnt even line up correctly. big time coaching to get the OL fixed and in rhythm so quickly after Hurst quit and Williford got knocked completely the @@@@ Out. 3 and outs dont help either
Its almost unfair to not be allowed to catch your breath and he we go again for the defense. tempo in football is becoming as important as it is in BBall. With our depth we could really own the 4th qaurter like Oregon tonite, one wd think, that last drive was impressive.
Good OP

Can 320lb linemen hurry?

One would need a mobile quarterback to run such system. I don't think we have that right now
Posted on 1/4/13 at 2:05 am to Mike Linebacker
I wish the QB would just throw it backwards over his head...it would be an improvement over our current offense.

Even though we have largely abandoned the Meerkat routine, there is still no way that Miles and Fatass can decide whether to run the toss dive or the toss dive fast enough to run a hurry-up.

AU won a NC w/Cam running tempo power zone option runs behind a mammoth senior laden offensive line. It's not unheard of.
You can run tempo to chuck it. You can run tempo to run it. You can run tempo to do both.
But you need competency and clarity and quality fundamental coaching on the practice field no matter what you do.
We can do whatever we want. But our head coach has to admit that he's part of the problem first.
